Chapter Forty
Josephine
When I wake up and I find that I am tied to a chair and I look around to try and figure out where I am or what happen, I get nothing. I am sitting in a dark room tied at the hands and feet to a chair.
“Hello? Is anyone there?”
Nothing.
What the hell is going on?
Where the hell am I?
“HELLO!”
Just when I am about to give up hope, the door to the room I am in opens and an older looking woman walks in and looks at me, I start to get a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. I try to reach out to my wolf, but I am not getting anything. I wonder if this woman drugged me with wolfsbane. She must have otherwise I would be able to reach out to my wolf.
“Hello, there Josie.”
Her voice and low and scratchy like she has been smoking a Pack of cigarettes her whole life and she is older and hunched over a bit with long white hair. She kind of reminds me of the witch from Snow White.
“What do you want with me? Why am I here?”
She looks me up and down and I don’t like the look she gets in her eyes, and I try to keep my face neutral, I don’t want her to see that I am terrified of what is going to happen.
“You my dear are going to help me achieve all that I have wanted my whole life. You are going to give me your power and I am going to become the most powerful witch known to mankind.”
“What power are you talking about, I don’t have any power. You are crazy lady.”
I start to pull on my restraints and I try to pull myself up from the chair and when I realize it’s no use, I have no choice but to give up and sit here and listen to her ramble on about some power that I supposedly have.
“What a shame, that you don’t know what kind of power you have, the things you could have with that power if only you knew how to access it, it’s a good thing I know what I am doing. I have been watching you for a long time Josephine. I was there when you were abused by your family and of course Tiffany. Too bad you won be around to see her become the Luna to Max. Oh well. Let’s get started, shall we?”
She turns to a table near the wall attached to the door and I feel my stomach drop at what I now see in her hands. When she turns back to me and begins her walk towards me, she grabs my hand that is attached to the chair and drags the blade across my palm while hold a bowl under my hand. I can’t keep the hiss of pain from falling from my lips and she gives a wry smile at the noise coming from me.
“Don’t tell me that hurts deary. You better develop some thick skin over the next few hours because we are far from finished. I will be back soon to gather a few more things. Why don’t you…have a seat? Oh, wait you already are.”
She cackles at her stupid joke as she walks back out the door and closes it behind her. I am then left to the quiet of the room and a look around to try and find something I can use to cut myself loose and get out of here but with the wolfsbane in my system still I can’t do anything. I’m simply stuck where I am.
After sitting here for however long the door opens again and big burly man walks in and looks me over like he wants to eat me alive, I have come to realize, I need to get out of here and soon. I know Max is looking for me and I know it won’t take him long to realize I am gone. I have faith in Max that he will get me out of this, but I can’t rely solely on him, I need to try and help myself as well.
This man moves around the room gathering up things off the table and switching them out for other things, I am trying to stay calm, but it is hard when I know what that old woman plans to do to me. The man turns to me and walks towards me with what looks like a needle in his hand and when he leans down to make eye contact.
He doesn’t say anything, he just sticks me with a needle and then I feel myself becoming sleepy and I see his figure walking out the door Goddess please help me get out of here or let Max find me quickly, and before I realize it, I find myself falling into darkness.
When I wake up next time, I see a figure standing near the table, and I try to clear my vision so I can see clearly what is going on and when I am finally able to do this, I notice it is the same man who gave me the drugs to knock me out.
“What am I doing here? Why does she need me?”
He turns to look at me with a sick smile on his face and when he opens his mouth, I regret ever saying anything.
“She is going to take away your power so she can be young and beautiful again along with having all the power you possess, then she and I can be powerful together.”
I can’t help the laugh that comes out.
“You really think she is going to take you along with her once she kills me and takes my power?”
“Of course, she is. She and I have been together for years. I was with her before she lost the youth and beauty and I know she just needs power to regain it all and with the power you possess, she would never need to do this again, we can take over all the surrounding packs together.”
Again, I can’t help but laugh in his face at this absurd notion that this crazy lady is going to stay with him once she gets rid of me. And before I can register what happens, he slaps me across the face with the back of his hand and I can instantly feel pain radiate through my face and I feel blood drip down my chin.
Then the door flies open, and the old woman comes in and looks at me, then turns to look at the man who slapped me.
“I told you not to touch her! I need her unharmed for this to work.”
“I’m sorry baby, I know, I just let what she says get to me and I lost control. I know how you feel, and I will do better from her on out.”
“Good, now. Go get my supplies for this next part. We need to go a little faster, the future Alpha is looking for her at surrounding pack lands and if we don’t hurry, he will be here before we can finish the ritual.”
With those final words he walks out of the room and leaves me with the old woman. I hope Max can get here soon. I am afraid to think of what could happen if Max doesn’t make it here in time.
Before I have time register anything else she walks over to me and jams something into my arm and I feel myself getting sleepy again. I find myself wanting to stay asleep more often. I’m not sure how long it has been since I was taken form Max and I am afraid that the longer I am here the less likely Max will find me.
The next time I wake up I notice a chunk of my hair missing and I have cuts all up and down my arms and when I look around, I notice she is back again standing near the table with a blade in her hand and she keeps looking back between me and the door.
“Sorry to do this deary but we need to step up the ritual and in order for me to take your power, I need to take your life force and I don’t have time to prolong it anymore.”
She starts chanting and then she walks up to me and plunges the blade into my stomach and I let out a blood curdling scream and I feel myself getting sleepy and before I pass out completely I see her try to run out the door and she manages to go fast and she is changing into a younger woman and I feel myself falling into the darkness and I hear the door open and I can feel the sparks in the air and I manages to get out one word before I plunge into darkness. I hope The Goddess blesses Max with another mate who can love him the way I hoped to.
“Max.”
